Anyone else watching the anime for the Tonbo series that Togashi recommended back in his Q&A? They actually put it on Volume 50 of the manga that recently released:
Here was that text, btw:
After I watched the first episode, I realized the Tonbo authors were possibly influenced by HxH, and then Togashi used them as an influence to write Ending D.
In Tonbo, her grandfather is named Gon and he's a fisherman. Also, her parents are said to have died in a car accident.
In the second episode, Tonbo says, "I'll stay on this island forever! I'll never go anywhere else!"
Compare that to Ending D:
Just thought I'd mention that interesting connection. For those curious, the Tonbo anime is on Amazon Prime and has four episodes so far.

With that heavy inking on the panels, most likely a flashback.

Maybe an alluka/creepy dc specific flashback? If I remember correctly normal flashbacks in hxh have the black panel border (could be mistaken tho havent read it in a while
Really happy to see Togashi back at it. His posts sound enthusiastic which is encouraging and with how frequent the updates are, maybe that's also an indication that he finally found a treatment that brought relief to his back issues?
Aside from watching the entire 2011 anime run, I've only read a bit of the manga. I've read up on some of the events leading up to the boat/Dark Continent arc such as
otherwise still a lot I'm not up to date on. Was thinking I might get a Shonen Jump digital sub and remedy that.

It'll be 10 years in late June. 😭

As for his birthday, for a while I wasn't sure if the birthdays for the main four were canon since they're only in the databook, but I recently noticed that Togashi actually put them on the calendar that he and Takeuchi did for their wedding back in 1999. Here's the one for May:

Seems like the main inking work for chapter 405 is done.
Starting 406.

An assistant who worked on the last batch also tweeted that he's planning to start up again, and that he's nervous about doing work in analog since it's been a little bit. He also noted that he's helped out on Ruri Dragon since then.

Yeah, he's been in the industry for decades and can do both. But it's so rare nowadays since so many have switched to digital. And since Togashi is still analog, I imagine it makes the work flow a little easier (he's mentioned this issue a couple times). Here's one he did at the end of 399:
Cool I didn't know about these inspirations for some of these characters.

I can't believe I never put together the Sailor Saturn/Kalluto connection.
I always thought Silva was based on David Bowie as the Goblin King 😅.
Yeah, saw that going around. I'd forgotten about them but found them again a few weeks ago and added the details to the wiki. And funny that that person says they finally found the page when I put the pic as a citation, heh. But maybe they wanted it in English.
And I have to think he had Sakashita in mind when designing Satotz:

Of the doujinshi? This should be about half of it (some nsfw in there):

Oof, yeah, good point. At first it was funny then you think, hmmm. :/
Inking done for 406. Looks like it might end with a double-page spread, which he hasn't done since 371 (ending a chapter with a spread).

Just tough to know since we still don't know what the release schedule will look like. The assistants still have their work to do after the inking, too. August is possible, but I'd assume September/October. Though again, we don't know where or how they'll get released.
Exciting progress. I can't wait until the announcement of HxH's return. I really miss these characters.
Another Uber mishap. Third time it's happened. Hopefully Uber gets it resolved.

You said you stopped around Hisoka vs. Chrollo, so not sure if you want an answer based on recent plot points.
I wonder what causes Togashi to have theses bursts. 3 pages a day is pretty much regular mangaka pace. Before he started the twitter account I always assumed he just slowly chipped away at them and put out chapter when he had a volumes worth of content to release.
I'm caught up now. Just mainly wondering how long it will be until they meet up again/if the revenge arc will get resolved,
It seems like it's on the way soonish. If Togashi kept to a set schedule, say a volume or so a year, we'd probably have it by now.
Ah. In that case, you'll remember Hinrigh gave Hisoka a VIP pass and asked him to wait on Tier 1 until the Troupe deals with the Heil-Ly. It's possible Hisoka doesn't keep to the deal, but regardless, I wouldn't expect much there with this batch since I see these chapters being more Prince focused.
That makes sense.
By no means to sound selfish, but one can't help but wonder how many volumes we'd have by now and where the series would be if Togashi didn't have to deal with his awful back health issues. :(
Yeah, I'm guessing outside of more possible flashbacks, that's probably how it will be.
I'm mostly satisfied with the animated series ending with Gon and Ging's reunion on the world tree but it would be really interesting to see how the overall boat arc would translate to TV and how it would be received. Either way, I'm sure Mad House would kill it art wise.
